Do finned tube heat exchangers fall under the category of pressure vessels?
Thread Content
Does a finned-tube heat exchanger that uses 0.8 MPa saturated steam to heat air to 130 degrees count as a pressure vessel?
Judging by pressure vessel standards, it doesn’t seem to be
It should belong to that category, but whether it is regulated or not is another matter.
It falls under pressure vessels, but is not governed by the Regulations on Safety Supervision of Pressure Vessels
It should be classified as a pressure vessel, with steam pressure of 0.8 MPa
Pressure vessels that are not subject to regulatory control, right?
Neither finned heat exchangers nor plate heat exchangers fall under the scope of supervision for special equipment in our company; the specific **regulations are not clear.
It is just a type of heat exchanger; it does not fall under the category of pressure vessels, nor is it governed by the \"Regulations on Safety Inspection of Pressure Vessels,\" but the tube sheet portion must be designed in accordance with pressure vessel standards.
As they belong to pressure vessels, they should also be subject to regulation.
It is a pressure vessel when the heat transfer medium flows in the shell side
